Outreach

- The mission of Christ the Redeemer’s Social Ministry & Outreach Department is to provide our parishioners with the opportunity to live out their baptismal call to service and act as the voice and hands of Jesus in their own lives. We organize efforts to aid the parish in establishing and sustaining effective parish social ministry to carry out the social mission of the Church. We also provide direct ministry to those in need, as well as serve as a resource for referrals for those seeking assistance.
  
  Join our Flocknote to receive outreach and social ministry events and opportunities at CtR, as well as seasonal volunteer opportunities for you and your families at local service organizations.

- Catholic Social Teaching
  
  Catholic social teaching is a central and essential element of our faith. Its roots are in the Hebrew prophets who announced God's special love for the poor and called God's people to a covenant of love and justice. It is a teaching founded on the life and words of Jesus Christ, who came "to bring glad tidings to the poor . . . liberty to captives . . . recovery of sight to the blind"(Lk 4:18-19), and who identified himself with "the least of these," the hungry and the stranger (cf. Mt 25:45). Catholic social teaching is built on a commitment to the poor. This commitment arises from our experiences of Christ in the eucharist. - USCCB
- Seven Themes of Catholic Social Teaching As the Catechism of the Catholic Church explains, "To receive in truth the Body and Blood of Christ given up for us, we must recognize Christ in the poorest, his brethren" (no. 1397).
